This is a gorgeous example of holly and ivy. I really LOVE that card, too. I'm really enjoying this series and loving how you interpret the prompt each day.

BTW, I finally went to Julie's Scrapbook and saw the prompts. I have to say, her version of Day 7's bells were the ones I was thinking of and was quite surprised since I had never heard that song you shared with us.

The holly and the ivy,When they are both full grown,Of all the trees that are in the wood,The holly bears the crown.The rising of the sunAnd the running of the deer,The playing of the merry organ,Sweet singing in the choir....(Merry Organ)..???

No! Not raining...but wind...Jeeeeese! It took me three laps of Lidl's carpark, to get back to the car, when l came out..! :).But my daughter send me a text of the snow upin Stoke~On~Trent where she lives...and it's bad further north!

I'm just finishing up my coffee and a piece ofalmond slice..off to do a few cards now! I alwayscut them up into quarters....l find that way theygo further...! :0).

The holly and the ivy,When they are both full grown,Of all the trees that are in the wood,The holly bears the crown.The rising of the sunAnd the running of the deer,The playing of the merry organ,Sweet singing in the choir....(Merry Organ)..???

Oh Barbara, this song is one of my favorites of my childhood; I haven't heard it for so long....in fact before I opened up your blog page, I had it on my mind. Thank you for sharing this choir of memories and peaceful moments. Much love to you dear friend across the pond...

Beautiful! The perfect Christmas-y post. Funny, as I read through the comments and got to one of yours, Barbara. I said to myself, this is NOT Barbara, but it certainly sounds like Willie. And then I decided maybe you had to 'edit' out a naughty word, lol. Good to learn the sixth verse.

Blogger had a meltdown and refused to post Willie’s comment I’ve no idea why – I could have understood it if there had been naughty words but there wasn’t a one. The only thing I could think of was to post it as me. I needn’t have worried as Willie tried again, and it worked fine. Thanks for your comment Marcia, I appreciate you coming over to say hello.

What a beautiful card! So far you have posted 2 of my 3 favourite carols. I wonder if you will post the third? Hint: it's about a drum and your friend is named first thing! Loving these Advent posts, Barbara!

There are fairies at the bottom of our garden! It's not so very far away; you pass the gardener’s shed and you just keep straight ahead, I do so hope they've really come to stay. Rose Fyleman
